Ss Peter & Paul - Prayer of the faithful

Introduction(by the Presider): From all our terrors the Lord sets us free, so we pray with confidence:

1. For Pope Leo, the Bishop of Rome, and all bishops (pause for silent prayer). Lord, hear us
2. For men and women who work as missionaries (pause for silent prayer). Lord, hear us.
3. For the grace of God to keep us going every day (pause for silent prayer). Lord, hear us.
4. For fishers, like Saint Peter, that they may be preserved from danger (pause for silent prayer). Lord, hear us.
5. For those who find faith when they are older, like Saint Paul (pause for silent prayer). Lord, hear us.
6. For people with the name of Peter or Paul (pause for silent prayer). Lord, hear us.

The presider prays for the dead: For all our friends whose lives on earth are over (especially N & N), that having fought the good fight, they may receive the crown of righteousness (pause for silent prayer). Lord, hear us.

Conclusion (by the Presider) Almighty God, you called Peter and Paul to be our leaders in faith: hear the prayers we make on their feast, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
